I want the beta for the moves. Did you put one foot in front of the other with that piolet

I've been to the Lost World too. The Lost World Plateau

I haven't been up there in a couple of years. However I did climb it during this time of season. I remember it being so broken up we ended up on the Squock (sp?) Glacier. It was doable then. Maybe it will be in similar conditions I took some recent photos of the mountain on Sunday

That's a pretty good shot. It's not often you get those chances either. I got a couple but not as cool http://www.bivouac.com/img/photo/2677_CheamRange2.jpg http://www.alpinelite.com/images/ray/pc1.JPG [ 09-25-2002, 12:33 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Some people think 5.7 rock slopes are skiable with a belay

I've done some fun climbing on peaks this year. Not many but oh well. I heard from a reliable friend this dude that has several kids, ft job etc climbed over 200 last year. I met the guy once. Crazy. We are all gapers. Colin did you climb 400 or what

I only solo if I think I can handle it. Never on 5.9. I think my max is about 5.6 or something. Although I have been scared to hell roped up on some 5.6 climbs If there are too many people I leave or try to climb with them sometimes. Learning how to downclimb well is a good skill for soloists

Maybe you can pick a line you dont like that is bolted and hand a dead rattlesnake carcass throught the first or last bolt hangers

I dont do it much but free soloing is pretty gratifying. I dont like to do it in popular areas as much but have done more so this year. I wonder what could have happened if I fell on Charlie this spring

I have passed Erden on a rock climb once. He was pretty friendly about the whole deal.

There are bolts up there but not very many. I hear the East Face route has bolts at every belay but no hangers. There is a bolt on the NE buttress. You might be able to pull it out with your hand.

Take after Joe Simpson he made intelligent decisions quite often.

Always tie in with the rope around your neck. Use a granny knot when you tie 2 ropes together for rappels. Carry a knife to cut the rope if your partner falls. Let go of the rope when your partner takes a fall.

Always climb under large parties of mountaineers. Use hemp ropes they are stronger and make for a good first aid kit if you need a smoke. Never wear a helmet ice climbing because ice is so slippery it will just glance off anyway. Ropes are for weenies. Ice axe leashes are aid climbing tools. Everything is really A1. People are just arrogant.
